The mugshot of Connecticut resident David Davis, sporting a half-haircut because he allegedly stabbed a man with scissors during his own haircut, caught fire on the Internet yesterday. And guess what—police officers who responded to the scene and saw the partially-shorn suspect were LOLing too!
The Post—which calls it a "half-ro"—explains "Davis, 21, was having his braids undone in preparation for the haircut in a Stamford home that had been transformed into a barbershop when a rival walked in." Stamford Police Capt. Richard Conklin said, "They had some bad blood," and the rival gave Davis "a menacing look and a hard stare, and that drove him into action." So Conklin says Davis "jumped up and grabbed the scissors that were being used to cut his hair and attacked the other man." The man was stabbed in the back, and could have been more seriously injured if he wasn't wearing a heavy coat.
Davis fled the home, but was found thanks to police dogs and a tip from 911. Conklin said that when cops saw him, "They got a good laugh about it." Davis is being held on $5,000 bail.
